Our robot picks up crates but it has a very narrow sweet spot to grab them. I was thinking of testing a double control scheme. When button 5 is pressed a second drive train control system should kick in. It would work something like this.

Re: 1 Controller, 2 Control Schemes?

I don't either I'm just afraid of testing it because of the two sets of opposing contols intefering with each other and possibly (worst case scenario burning out the motors).

There aren't really any "opposing" controls. It's just a condition that changes the motor speed when a button is pressed. The motors aren't gonna be receiving different commands. You should be just fine.
